Unfortunately, YouTube has ended the Sanborn Central/Woonsocket account for reasons unknown to us or our streaming service, Liveticket. There was an appeal process to keep our channel and the archived videos, but YouTube terminated the channel along with six other school districts' channels. All previous videos, including concerts, coronation, and games, have been deleted from our channel and cannot be recovered. We cannot remedy this, but we are searching for a solution to back up all streaming videos moving forward.
We have a new YouTube Channel. Here is the new link https://www.youtube.com/@SanbornCentralWoonsocket
I know that many of us looked back at past videos on our YouTube site, but there is nothing more we can do at this point.
Eligibility will be checked weekly. Pre-eligibility will be checked every Wednesday and Final eligibility will be checked every Friday.
Anyone interested in joining the Yearbook Club, please get in touch with Mrs. Potrament. Meetings will be held based on what fits member schedules.
